Overview

  • Canada will receive only one Q3 configuration, an all-wheel-drive 2.0-litre turbo rated at 261 hp, up from 228 hp in the prior top spec.
  • Audi Canada expects to take orders in Q4 2025, with first deliveries slated for early 2026.
  • The production plan sends body shells from Győr, Hungary, to Ingolstadt, Germany, for painting and final assembly.
  • Audi cites buyer preferences—about 95% chose the comparable outgoing version—and the model’s segment lead as reasons for the single-variant strategy.
  • The 2026 redesign adds larger digital displays and a steering column-mounted gear selector, with Canadian pricing and trim details still to be announced.
